NAME

       fstrcmpi - fuzzy comparison of two strings

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fstrcmp.h>
       #define FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL
       #define FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD
       #define FSTRCMPI_ERROR
       int fstrcmpi(const char *string1, const char *string2);

DESCRIPTION

       The fstrcmpi() function compares the two strings, string1 and string2.

RETURN VALUE

       The fstrcmpi function returns an int value between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL.  A value of 0
       means the strings are utterly un-alike.  A value of FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL means  the  strings
       are  identical.   A  value  of  more  than  FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD  (it  lies  between  0  and
       FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people.

       A value of FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) failure.
